Well hello all you Haiku enthusiasts (and those who aren’t, but read all my posts anyway)!
It has been a week already since I hosted the first of a monthly event sparked by TJ and his Haiku Hub idea.
I posted a photo…(taken in Shorne Woods Country Park)
And gave you a word prompt too –
Heritage
Then asked you to do your best with either/both of the prompts for haiku that you were inspired to write.
Can I just say thanks to all who submitted an entry, it was fantastic to see the response, seeing as this was the first time I ever hosted a challenge like this!
So, here is a list of all those Hubbers who entered!
First in, Judy with her take, based on family momentos

The Lady Lee Manilla with a beautiful take based around her son’s wedding, and an inherited gift
Next one in from The Poetry Channel.. very lyrical!

Annette gave us a duo of haiku about mixed heritage and the family that follows
We then had Floridaborne with a thought provoking haiku contemplating nature

Sue Vincent’s entry which made me ponder on the ‘fruits’ we bear
And Rivrvlogr with a piece that echoes thought about inherant heritage
